A hypothetical planet has a mass one-third of and a radius three times that of E

Question

A hypothetical planet has a mass one-third of and a radius three times that of Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

A hypothetical planet has a mass one-third of and a radius three times that of Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

The acceleration due to gravity is 9g. The acceleration due to gravity is g/3. The acceleration due to gravity is g/27. The acceleration due to gravity is g. The acceleration due to gravity is g/9. The acceleration due to gravity is 3g.

Explanation / Answer

acceleration due to gravity = GM/R^2 =g

A hypothetical planet has a mass one-third of and a radius three times that of Earth. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity on Earth

The acceleration due to gravity is = g/27
